Q: Are your products Dermatologist Tested?

Q: Why are your products bottled in Glass?
All of our skincare is only available in glass bottles as the founder, Jane May Graves doesn't want our high quality, pure ingredients absorbing any kind of plastic contaminates, such as hormone disruptors, Chemicals having an estrogenic activity (EA).
We understand glass bottles can be inconvenient, but overall they are safer for our health and environment.
Here is an excellent NIH research article:
"Results: Almost all commercially available plastic products we sampled—independent of the type of resin, product, or retail source—leached chemicals having reliably detectable EA, including those advertised as BPA free. In some cases, BPA-free products released chemicals having more EA than did BPA-containing products."

Q: Can I use Luxe Lotion on my face and on my body?
A: Yes. Luxe lotion formula was created as a high-quality face lotion; however, we believe all your skin (your largest organ) deserves premium and nourishing ingredients. You can use Luxe Lotion head to toe. Some areas like elbows, knees, legs, and feet may need extra lotion since the skin is thicker. You will see and feel the difference immediately.
Q: Why do your labels on the 8.5 oz Luxe lotion read, "For Face, Neck, and Hands"?
A: The skin on the face, neck, and hands shows signs of aging before other body areas. The face, neck, and hands are often the most exposed areas to oxidative stress, such as blue light, sun, wind, pollution, and other oxidative stressors, so they need extra protection and nutrients.
Q: Is there any difference between the 8.5oz luxe lotions and the 2oz size luxe lotions?
A: There is no difference except for bottle size. The 2oz is our travel size and the only size that has the Lavender scent. Both the 8.5 oz and 2 oz contain the same ingredients. Both sizes are face-quality moisturizers and can be used on other parts of the body. The formula was created as a high-quality, lightweight face lotion moisturizer; however, we believe all your skin (your largest organ) deserves only the finest, most rejuvenating, and nourishing ingredients.
Q: How long do your products last? Is there an expiration date on the bottle? What is the number on the bottom of the bottle?
A: There is a PAO symbol (period after opening) and number on each label. The number with the PAO symbol reveals how many months the product last after it is opened. We formulate for skin life, not for shelf life. The code stamp on the bottom of the bottle is the lot number.
Q: Are your products cruelty-free and do you test on animals?
A: All of our products are cruelty-free. We would never test our products on animals.
Q: What is the source of your hyaluronic acid for all products?
A: The source is NON-GMO Potatoes.

A: All our skincare products contain No Petrolatum, No Parabens, No Phthalates, No beeswax, No Petroleum, No GMOs, No Propylene Glycol, No dimethicone, No Silicones, No Lanoline, and Nut free.
Q: Are all your packing materials, boxes and glass bottles recyclable?
A: Yes. We only purchase recycled packing materials. We use bubble wrap made from potato and rice starch rather than petroleum oil. Unlike petroleum-based bubble wrap or peanuts, these plant-based materials decompose in a short time.
Q: Why don't you use Retinol in your products?
An optometrist specializing in ocular surface disease has informed us the negative effects of retinoids on the ocular surface and more specifically on meibomian glands. She has seen a parade of meibomian glands completely atrophied by products such as retinoids day and in and day out. Here are some articles for more information.
